Thanks.  That confirms that the delay in the renewal isn't needed.   It
just didn't make sense to require it, but I thought that the notation in
the manual for 1.8c is ambiguous or confusing.  Maybe it is just me in the
latter part of a very bad week (we're in the middle of changing our domain
name, just for added fun and headaches)

I've used the default Auto-delete of semi-auto and delay of 4.   I think I
understand the pros and cons of the semi vs. full, as the manual is solid
on that.  As a listowner, do you have any fallout from the full auto?  And
is there any reason to cut the delay to 2?

thanks again

cheers
